This is not exactly how I would go about doing this if I were you, but to each her/his own. Picking single syllables out of a short, online dictionary and concatenating them doesn't necessarily give you a Sumerian name or even a word. I wonder what AlimaeHP's dad did. Was he an ANE historian or a Sumerologist? When I first looked at the string pailani, as little as I know about Sumerian, I thought what's that diphthong doing there. I couldn't find any example of 'ai' in the online Sumerian Lexicon. Not saying it doesn't exist, just if it does, it's rare. I wonder if there are two roots: pail and ani, or pai and lani. Couldn't find either. This weekend, I going to the university library to renew my card, and I'll take a look at a bigger Sumerian lexicon.
